Fair Dinkum, not one St.Kilda player could kick better than that.mightysainters wrote:Daino: Kicked one of the biggest 70 metre torps you will see on a field... Not as high as goddards but an absolute monster.... he has a boot on him...
Daino was between the centre square and the wing about 5 metres forward of the centre on an AFL size ground
When he went back to line up for goal, one collingwood guy said" who the **** does this **** think he is"
I must admit I gave him no hope whatsoever of making the distance and fully expected a contested mark situation about 20 metres out from goal if he got onto one
got onto one
70 metres is being conservative
this kick was massive and cleared the pack rushing back to the goal line
truly amazing goal
even Anthony Rocca would have been struggling with that distance
Ilzy dominated as per usual along with 20 the guy from the fitzroy reds I thnk, mightysainters etc...etc...
when you win by nearly 30 goals it's fair to say there were a lot of good players
even I kicked 5 goals standing next to a goal post all day, just picking up the scraps
I thought the collingwood guys were great, they were getting pumped all day, 69 points down at 1/4 time but never gave up and never really complained, so congrats for that
perhaps next time they'll learn that to be competitive you need to include VFL players in your team
to be honest I thought the turning point in the game was when I scored my first goal in the second quarter, to put us about 14 goals up, the game was in the balance up until then
credit where credit is due
good stuff dools for organizing the game and to all those who attended
was worth coming just to watch joffa corte with tits out to disadvantage in the ruck
